We love anything made with pumpkin at my house. I made these bars, added a tablespoon of molasses and a teaspoon of vanilla. So good. The kids will have a great treat after school today!!

Taste great, but turned out to be a cake. The only thing I can think thata I did wrong was used too small of a pan.

I made these last night, for the 1st time and my kids wouldn't go to bed without trying them. I took them to the school for a teacher's luncheon and they were gone! I received so many compliments and requests for the recipe. Now my kids want me to make more! This will become one of our regular recipes, it is fabulous!

Delicious! Used a whole bar of cream cheese as others suggested, perfect that way! Everyone raved over how moist it was....lots of recipe requests! Will definitely be making again.

I am so happy that I picked this pumpkin recipe to try with my fiance. Very easy to make and I even took other's advice and added nutmeg and allspice. We even had to stop ourselves from eating all of the cream cheese frosting right out of the bowl. This pumpkin treat is the perfect compliment to any Fall Sunday.

This recipe is really delicious but also a favorite because it uses one whole can of canned pumpkin!

These are my family's favorite pumpkin bars! They are very easy to make, plus they use an entire can of pumpkin. (I like that because I end up wasting pumpkin when the recipe only calls for part of a can.) The icing is easy to make and not overly sweet. Definitely a keeper!

I made these today and were a hit at work. I added ground nutmeg and used the full 8oz of cream cheese and omitted the water. De-lish!

These were sooo good. I added extra spices-cloves,ginger & nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon. I also substituted brown sugar for white and half the oil for unsweetened applesauce. I added toasted walnuts to the batter and left off the frosting. We loved these and I will definitely be making them again.

These were especially good. I added 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and increased the cream cheese to 8 oz. for the frosting. Very easy to make to make. Next time I may sprinkle chopped pecans on the frosting.

These bars are not only easy but my husband gave me the best review ever," They taste like a fancy dessert from a restaurant". I'll be making these for Thanksgiving, for sure!

Made these for a Halloween party. Added 2 teaspoons of all spice and 2 teaspoons of nutmeg because I thought it could use more flavor when I tasted the batter. Also did as another poster suggested and used 8 oz. of cream cheese and that was perfect for the icing. Icing was thin so next time I make it, I will leave out the milk completely. Very good "base"recipe though :-)

turned out very moist and the icing was perfect not too much but enough to be able to taste the sweet cream cheese taste. DELISH! I will definitely be making this again!

My family said, "The best pumpkin bars ever!" I used a light olive oil instead of vegetable oil and doubled the cream cheese (8 oz) for the frosting.

Absolutely delicious and a complete hit when I made them to take to a party! I had to double the icing though.

I'd like to find a substitute for the vegetable oil, as one cup seems like an awful lot.

This is the best pumpkin bar recipe I've used! I like this recipe because it uses an entire can of pumpkin. A lot of recipes use part of a can and I end up trashing the rest. Also the frosting is super easy to make and overly sweet. It's a perfect compliment to the pumpkin!
